Action Invest Caribbean Inc. and Harmony Education Solutions have formalized their collaboration with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at advancing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education in Guyana.
The partnership is focused on creating opportunities for engineering careers, addressing the growing demand for skilled professionals in the field.
The initiative, which emerged through a trade mission in Guyana last year, aims to prepare primary and secondary students for the country’s evolving job market.
This project is designed to equip students with the skills necessary to pursue higher-paying engineering roles and contribute to the nation’s transformation.
Dr. Vishnu Doerga, CEO of Action Invest Caribbean Inc., stated that construction for the new facility is already underway, with plans to complete it by early 2026.
The estimated investment in this educational venture ranges between $7 million to $10 million USD, which will be allocated to creating a high-standard institution that will benefit students and the local economy.
David Akdemir, Executive Director of Harmony Education Solutions, emphasized that Guyana is the first country to benefit from their STEM education model in the region.
Harmony Education Solutions is a non-profit organization based in the US that provides quality STEM instruction materials and services.
This collaboration is expected to elevate the standard of STEM education in Guyana, preparing students to meet the demands of future industries.
